Life is sweet for Arcor S.A.I.C., the privately held firm that has grown to become one of Argentina's two biggest food companies, manufacturing more than 1,500 products. Although Argentina's fertile pampas are noted for their yields of wheat, corn, beef, and, more recently, soybeans, Arcor has achieved its success by making candy, cookies, chocolates, and other sweets, then selling them to customers in more than 110 countries. The company leaves little to chance or outside suppliers, producing its own glucose, flour, dough, cornmeal and corn oil, milk, sugar, marmalade and other preserves, tin cans, corrugated boxes, and plastic film for packaging. A multinational company with factories in several South American countries, Arcor views the whole world as its market.
